Figures & data

Figure 1. Neuronal regulation of intestinal fat and motor activity in C. elegans. ETS-5 expression in the ASG and BAG neurons controls intestinal fat levels through an unknown mechanism.4 We hypothesize that intestinal fat levels are interpreted by the nervous system to regulate feeding and activity programs. The question marks denote, as yet, unknown brain-intestinal communication processes.
